What is SOLIDWORKS Routing? SOLIDWORKS Routing is an add-in that allows you to completely automate the process of routing pipework, tubing or even cabling, saving you many hours of modelling against traditional methods. In this article we want to show
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation: Flow Freezing
Reaching a Steady-State SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation allows for the simulation of steady-state and transient heat transfer problems. A steady-state analysis is run to determine how the heat transfer of a system stabilizes (i.e. becomes unchanging). A steady-state solution does not
... ContinuedThe Misaligned Mate in SOLIDWORKS 2018
The Misaligned Mate is a new mate introduced to the mating ecosystem in SOLIDWORKS 2018. In short, it’s a pair of concentric mates that have been relaxed so that the axes aren’t perfectly in line. Meaning that components that do not have identical hole centres can now be mated to one another. Take a look at this guide to discover how you can use the Misaligned Mate to your advantage…
